Young Swedish Royals Shock the Nation

Before leaving Spain, Michelle Obama and her eight-year-old daughter, Sasha, joined King Juan Carlos I of Spain and his wife, Queen Sofia of Spainat their Majorca summer palace for lunch. And, as we hoped, the FLOTUS had a Fashion Face-Off with Best-Dressed Letizia, Princess of Asturias. Letizia looked sleek in a white dress, while Michelle looked summery in a Nantucket-red skirt and a tied-back shirt. The winner of the face-off, however, was young ingénue Sasha, who rocked a bright-yellow tutu like a real little princess. Assess for yourself:

We're guessing they didn't have time to meet up with the scandal-addledSarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, who is enjoying a slightly scaled back retreat at her beloved Spanish hideaway, Sotogrande. Apparently, her latest spiritual guru, Mia Dolan, has promised the Duchess she'll emerge from bankruptcy by October. We wonder how much Madame Mia charged for that advice. On an earlier vacation to the South of France this summer, Fergie met her daughter Prince Eugenie's new boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank. He appears to be a well-bred, well-educated bartender. The 24-year-old bloke recently spoke to reporters, confirming he has been dating the Princess since just before the summer. He said that things are "going well," and that he had indeed met Eugenie's mother in France. "That's correct," Brooksbank said. "It was a very good holiday."

The summer honeymoon enjoyed by Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and her new husband, Prince Daniel Westling, Duke of Vÿstergötland, has come under scrutiny. Some Swedes are scandalized that the new couple accepted the use of a private jet, yacht, and Colorado ranch belonging to Swedish billionaire Bertil Hult. Like the Princess, Hult is dyslexic, and the two have apparently made joint efforts to support various charitable foundations associated with dyslexia. It's unclear if he donated to the Crown Princess Couple's Wedding Foundation, which promotes good health and fights exclusion among Sweden's young people—something the Crown Princess experienced firsthand. Well-wishers were encouraged to make donations in lieu of gifts. Already, three complaints have reportedly been filed with anti-corruption channels in Sweden, and some anti-monarchists have begun crying bribery because they feel the billionaire's favors might be unfairly repaid in a political sense. The Swedish royal court countered these allegations by clarifying that the trip was a private "wedding gift from an old friend of the royal family."
